Latest thigh-slapping moment on CCTV9

The folks on BizChina have just outdone themselves.  I almost suspect sneaky backroom sabotage.
 
Yep, the lead story on today's early afternoon round-up of the economic and political news was about Vice-President Xi Jinping's visit to Germany.  But the VT boys segued just slightly prematurely to the next item about the nuclear situation in North Korea - so, the presenter's dutiful quoting of Xi's platitudes about China's commitment to "peaceful cooperation" was accompanied by footage of missile launches.  I laughed so hard I nearly shat myself.
